Imam-ul-Haq and Inzamam-ul-Haq’s Shocking Family Connection Revealed!
Imam-ul-Haq’s rise in Pakistan cricket has often been surrounded by controversy, with many questioning whether his selection was purely based on merit or influenced by family ties. The reason? He is the nephew of legendary Pakistan batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq, a fact that sparked debates right from the beginning of his career.
When Imam made his debut for the Pakistan national team in 2017, his uncle, Inzamam-ul-Haq, was serving as the chief selector for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). This led to accusations of nepotism, with critics claiming that Imam’s selection was not entirely fair. However, the young batsman let his performance do the talking, proving his worth on the field.
Despite the intense scrutiny, Imam-ul-Haq silenced his critics by scoring a century in his maiden ODI against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi. He also became the first cricketer in history to hit four centuries in his first nine ODIs and the second-fastest batsman to reach 1,000 ODI runs in just 19 matches.
Speaking about the pressure he faced, Imam once revealed that he broke down in tears in the shower due to the constant trolling and negative remarks. However, he remained determined and focused on his game, proving that he belonged at the international level.
While Imam’s relationship with Inzamam was a point of controversy early in his career, his consistency and hard work have helped him carve out his own identity in Pakistan cricket.
